Good for Gov. Rick Snyder who supports the Canadian bridge across the Detroit River. I think it is wonderful that Canada plans on paying for it. It will help relieve the congestion for those of us who enjoy going to Canada. It’s such a nice trip.

In New York, there are many illegal immigrants and yet there are people seeking help for them. If they are illegal that means they broke the law. My taxes shouldn’t be used to take care of people who are here illegally. There are legal ways to become a citizen. Send those illegals back to where they came from.

Troy’s controversial mayor has been recalled and Troy is still in the news, and not in a good way.

Most streets in Royal Oak allow parking on both sides of the street. This is a real nuisance because only one car can enter at a time. Most cities do not allow this because it is unsafe or annoying. Someone always has to wait or back up for someone to get through. I will do whatever I can to stop this.

Holiday shoppers spent billions of dollars over the extended Black Friday buying frenzy. Yet churches are closing for lack of attendance and income. The holiday name should be changed from Merry Christmas to “Merry Giftmas.” Bah, humbug.

Now that St. Dennis Catholic Church has closed for good, I will miss those square wafers offered to parishioners at communion. No other Catholic Church offers wafers shaped like a square. Most are shaped like a quarter.

I think business people who won’t let the Salvation Army Red Kettle workers near their stores are a disgrace.

Did you know that are 4.4 million illegals in this country who are in the labor force? They are taking away our jobs.

Police officers are doing a good job on the street sweep day when residents are not supposed park in the street. Some people have plenty of room in their driveways, but they still park in the street. But the cops are giving tickets, so that shows me they are doing their job.

I think the store owners should have every right in the world to put metal shutters up on their buildings because of what has been going on lately. They deserve to protect their assets, and the heck with those who say it doesn’t look like Royal Oak is a safe city. Metal shutters will keep it safe.
